There are those moments in life when we are in such awe of life.

For me, the simple fact that I survived the lottery of being born is enough to switch on immediate appreciation. Moments like this lead me into an elevated consciousness, a hyper-awareness of the Light's presence in every thought and action.

Live in this place today, this place of total awe. Mix in a healthy, positive fear of losing this place in your mind, so that you never forget how awesome life is, and how awesome you are.

Speak up.

This may not "speak" to you if you are someone who has no problem with showing people who you are. But for the rest of us, we need to be reminded to speak our truth, no matter what people say. And if what we have to say isn't appropriate, just because others don't say it, doesn't mean we shouldn't (if it's our truth.)

When someone eats his words, not coming out with it clearly, not expressing, that energy gets bottled up. The vessel of talking needs to be trained so we can keep our energy circulating.

Today, listen to what you say, even mundane things. Watch yourself. Then slowly train yourself to open your mouth and let out your heart.

The word for responsible also means interconnected (in Aramaic.) This tells us if we are responsible individuals, then we recognize the enormous impact we have on others. It means we realize our behavior and actions have an effect first on us - because we are the point of impact - and then outwards to our family, friends and ultimately the world.

If you drop a stone in a body of water, it makes waves, we all get that. True responsibility is understanding we are always making waves in the world, always having an impact on much more than ourselves.

Make compassionate, loving, sharing waves today!

The greatest desire to receive is “I want it now!”

How many times have you given up on something because the results didn’t come fast enough? We all do it. We abandon developing friendships, projects, or spiritual behaviors because we don’t see immediate results.

The Light works in its own time. Our success might come today, it might come in ten years. We don’t know. But we do know that the more we act - while simultaneously pushing away the craving for instant gratification - the greater our capacity to experience success becomes.

Today, push back on that nagging voice that wants everything this second. Focus on the work at hand and know that everything you need will arrive just in time.

There is story of a sage who was once asked to curse another man. He was told that the person in question was evil and wanting to hurt everyone that came his way. The sage replied, "instead of cursing him, wouldn't it be easier to bless him so that he'll be able only to see the Light? If he can only see the Light, the rest will be taken care of, won't it?"

Won't it? Yes it will. Today, bless the people you want to curse. You can't fight darkness with darkness. You have to fight it with Light.

Love will always do the trick.

We can greedily grab all that life offers, or we can appreciate what we receive and share a portion of it with others. Kabbalists call it receiving for the sake of sharing and it's our insurance for a constant flow of good fortune into our lives.

Today, think and act in ways that will allow continuous fulfillment to pour into your life.

Diamonds are the crystalline form of carbon, transformed by extreme heat and pressure. The constant pressure of billions of years eventually transforms the worthless chunk of coal into a valuable precious stone.

Just like life.

Overwhelming pressure can always be converted into opportunity. And it doesn't have to take billions of years. The moment we shift our consciousness and recognize the spiritual value concealed within our hardships, a sparkling, new diamond is formed.

What diamonds are in the making for you? Focus on one difficult situation today and allow yourself to see it as a gem in the making.
